Customs – Bremen – Bremer celebrate Easter service for refugee Ukrainians – culture

Bremen (dpa/lni) – With an ecumenical service for Orthodox Easter, church representatives gave refugees from Ukraine a sense of home on Monday in Bremen. “Especially in view of the terrible war, it is important to celebrate Easter as a festival of rebellion against death and violence,” it said in an announcement. The German Dean’s Office of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, the St. Mark’s Congregation in Bremen-Kattenturm and the Bremen Evangelical Church had invited.

The service in St. Mark’s Church with the Archpriest of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Volodymyr Chayka, and Pastor Bernd Kuschnerus of the Bremen Evangelical Church was to be followed by a traditional blessing of the Easter dishes and an Easter breakfast together.
